Helios Pushes CAB Payments Board to Cooperate as It Positions Bid as Only Deliverable Offer

Helios Fairfax Partners Corporation ( ($TSE:HFPC.U) ) has shared an announcement.

The Helios Consortium, backed by Helios Fairfax Partners, has launched a cash offer to acquire all the shares of CAB Payments Holdings it does not already own, proposing US$1.15 per share or a partial alternative, and says investors holding 52.7% of CAB’s stock support the deal. It argues that a rival approach from StoneX Group is not currently deliverable because Helios has refused to give the irrevocable support StoneX sought, positioning its own proposal as the only firm and actionable bid on the table.

Helios says it must submit regulatory filings that require non-public information about CAB Payments and has asked CAB’s board to provide this data, but the board has so far refused, despite not recommending the offer. The consortium warns that proceeding with incomplete information will prolong regulatory approvals, delay a shareholder vote and create operational disruption, and is urging CAB investors to pressure the board to cooperate with regulators and accelerate the offer process.
